Peter Andre’s wife Emily reveals baby daughter’s name – admitting ‘it’s taken a while’
PETER and Emily Andre have finally decided a name for their newborn baby – a month after giving birth.
Emily, 34, told fans today they had picked Arabella Rose for their little one as she shared a new picture.
She wrote: “It’s taken a while but after lots of deliberation we’ve finally decided. Arabella Rose Andréa.”
Singer and TV personality Pete, 51, welcomed this fifth child, his third with wife Emily, at the beginning of April.
Pete’s children all have the surname Andrea, which is his real surname.
Emily also uses it – speaking in 2016 she told OK!: “It’s on all the children’s birth certificates and is now my surname.”
The couple had been split over what to name their little girl, instead opting to call her ‘Bubba’ while they made their decision.
They have made a decision just in time for the deadline to register the tot.
Name game
Pete had previously told fans he was “thinking outside the box” to get the name right – previously noting he liked the names Athena in a nod to his Greek roots, and Charlotte, with the nickname Charlie.
But Emily later ‘took them off the table’, putting them back to square one.
Peter added in OK!: “We’ve been trying out names that our friends and family have suggested, but then Emily and I don’t seem to agree on them.
“So I think it’s only fair that Emily decides – I hope she picks a good one.”
Last month Peter admitted that they still have ‘no name’ for their baby girl in a sweet Instagram post, just days after admitting they were struggling to pick one.
Peter said: “We are still no closer to a name for our newest bundle of joy! Any time Emily and I talk about it, it just gets put aside.
“Since Emily and I agreed for her to be the one to choose, it seems to have slowed down the process even more.”
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Peter added: “She is recovering after all, so I totally get it.
“We have less than four weeks left before we have to register her. I took our baby for a walk in her pram for the first time to drop Millie and Theo at school.
“It’s beautiful to do these things all over again.”
Baby girl’s arrival
Peter announced the birth of his newborn with a touching post.
The Mysterious Girl hitmaker wrote: “Just minutes old……
“We feel so overwhelmed right now. So happy to welcome our beautiful girl to the family.
“Mum and daughter are doing amazing. Born Tuesday 2nd April 2024, 7lb 3oz and thankfully very healthy.
“Baby has been spoilt with cuddles from Junior, Princess, Amelia and Theo who are all in love with their new little sister. As parents, we couldn’t be happier.”
He added: “Only thing is…. She has no name yet. Help !
“Thanks to all the doctors, midwives and staff at Musgrove Park Hospital Taunton. You were incredible. And Emily’s parents, whom I adore. You have both been incredible.
“I’m so happy. Just off to hold her. Thanks everyone for reading.”
Pete also has a son Junior, 18, and a 16-year-old daughter Princess from his previous marriage to Katie Price.
With Emily, whom he married in 2015, 10-year-old Amelia (known as Millie), seven-year-old Theo, and the newborn.
